Back flip contest

Jerimiah and his buddies were practicing their back flips off the side of the pool. Jerimiah is on the far right.

Cannon Ball!

Justice and Brennan had a cannon ball contest- they usually forgot to roll up in a ball, but that didn't stop them from yelling "cannon ball!" They usually tried to splash me when they jumped! They had a blast swimming this summer!

Summertime fun!

Eli is quite the little swimmer! He loves to be in the water and prefers the deep end. I was surprised at how well the water wings help him float. He is kicking his legs and using his arms a ton! By next summer he'll be off swimming by himself! He's growing up so fast!

Take off!

These were taken as we took off in the plane! He loved it!

Eli's turn!

Of course Eli gets to go too! We would never hear the end of it if he didn't! He loved the ride! He told me before we went that he was probably going to fall asleep in the plane. He almost did! He was very relaxed about it. I got some cute pictures of his face when we took off! You can see his excitement. He said "that's the funnest thing I've ever done!" How's that for being four!

Airplane Rides!

We went to visit Grandpa in Washington. While we were there we went for an airplane ride. Jerimiah has gone in the airplane before, but not since Grandpa was crop dusting in Mountain Home. He was a little nervous but he said it was awesome! When the airplane was taking off he said it was going really fast but once they got in the air it was slow! Justice hasn't ever ridden in the airplane. He loved it! He said it was really really fun! He is now contemplating the idea of being a pilot when he grows up! Thanks Granpda for the rides! And thanks Wes for letting us use your airplane!

The Best Rope Swing!

We met some people that live up in the Mtns. they have the coolest yard and house! They have been very good to us about letting us come up and mushroom hunt. They even have a fish pond that they invited us to go fishing at. They have this rope swing that is so cool! It's probably a 50 foot rope tied to a tree. You get a running start and around the tree you go! Justice was doing it one handed like tarzan! For a skinny little bean pole he's pretty strong!

Of course dad had to try it out too!

Jerimiah makes it look so easy! Mom still wasn't convinced! It's the landing that will get me! Eli wasn't convinced either so we just watched and took pictures!
